A quotation from Henry Commager
Who among American heroes could meet their [loyalty] tests, who would be cleared by their committees? Not Washington, who was a rebel. Not Jefferson, who wrote that all men are created equal and whose motto was “rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Not Garrison, who publicly burned the Constitution; or Wendell Phillips, who spoke for the underprivileged everywhere and counted himself a philosophical anarchist; not Seward of the Higher Law or Sumner of racial equality. Not Lincoln, who admonished us to have malice toward none, charity for all; or Wilson, who warned that our flag was “a flag of liberty of opinion as well as of political liberty”; or Justice Holmes, who said that our Constitution is an experiment and that while that experiment is being made “we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death.”
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-07), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 2, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168More about this quote: wist.info/commager-henry-steel…

Looked over preceding videos of #alexpretti kicking the taillight, etc...
Doesn't affect that he was shot after he was disarmed in the fatal instance. Don't know why it is being released as if it has some bearing.
New videos do not change that resolution. He was shot after being held down and disarmed.
Pretty #unamerican , these #ice agents.

Read that again... this disease was eliminated! And now thanks to our people's stupidity and the rise of antiscience antivaxxers, it is making a comeback! And imbeciles running our nation have withdrawn from WHO.

Perfect example of an obnoxious American demonstrating arrogance, ugly spitefulness, ignorance and absolute stupidity. This is the worst that our species has to offer and is an existential threat to the entire world. Impeach, convict and imprison this criminal scumbag.

With the way things are going with the US government, 'unAmerican' could be interpreted as high praise.

#Gay #Communist and #UnionActivist! Grampa Walton — #WillGeer: a #Radical with Woody Guthrie, et al
"[Will Geer] began his acting career touring in tent shows and on river boats.
"Geer was also the lover of #GayActivist #HarryHay. In 1934, Hay met Geer at the Tony Pastor Theatre, where Geer worked as an actor. They became lovers, and Hay credited Geer as his political mentor. Hay and Geer participated in a milk strike in Los Angeles, where Hay was first exposed to #RadicalGay #Activism in the person of '#Clarabelle,' a #DragQueen who held court in the Bunker Hill neighborhood, who hid Hay from police.
"Geer made his Broadway debut as Pistol in a 1928 production of Much Ado About Nothing, created the role of Mr. Mister in Marc Blitzstein’s The Cradle Will Rock, played Candy in John Steinbeck’s theatrical adaptation of his novella Of Mice and Men, and appeared in numerous plays and revues throughout the 1940s. From 1948 to 1951, he appeared in more than a dozen movies, including Winchester ’73, Broken Arrow, Comanche Territory (1950) and Bright Victory.
"Geer became a member of the #CommunistParty of the United States in 1934. Geer was also influential in introducing Harry Hay to organizing in the Communist Party.
"Geer became a dedicated activist, touring government work camps in the 1930s with folk singers like #BurlIves and #WoodyGuthrie (whom he introduced to the People’s World and the #DailyWorker; Guthrie would go on to write a column for the latter paper). In 1956, the duo released an album together on Folkways Records, titled Bound for Glory: Songs and Stories of Woody Guthrie. In his biography, fellow organizer and gay rights pioneer Harry Hay described Geer’s activism and outlined their activities while organizing for the strike. Geer is credited with introducing Guthrie to #PeteSeeger at the ‘Grapes of Wrath’ benefit Geer organized in 1940 for #MigrantFarmWorkers.
"Geer did summer stock at the Pine Brook Country Club located in the countryside of Nichols, Connecticut with the Group Theatre (New York) studying under Lee Strasberg.
"Geer was blacklisted in the early 1950s for refusing to testify before the House Committee on #UnAmerican Activities. As a result, Geer appeared in very few films over the following decade. Notable among them was Salt of the Earth which was produced, directed, written, and starring blacklisted Hollywood personnel and told the story of a miners’ #strike in New Mexico from a pro-#union standpoint."

There you go, the fix is in. War criminal and fall down drunk whiskey-Pete has thrown an admiral under the bus. The felon POTUS and rest of the vile, un-American administration need to go. They should be serving hard time in prison. Congress, do your job and stop this unauthorized, illegal military action!

Comey Shows That Donald Trump’s Contempt for America Knows No Bounds | The New Republic
By Michael Tomasky, September 26, 2025
Comey Shows That Donald Trump’s Contempt for America Knows No Bounds
The indictment of the former FBI director is an un-American act. Period.
Former FBI Director James Comey. Brendan Smialowski / Getty ImagesJames Comey has done some things in his career that I didn’t care for and which I suspect you didn’t like either, for what I’m guessing are similar reasons. But those things are irrelevant today. As of Thursday evening, Comey is one more symbol of Donald Trump’s utter contempt for law and decency. To the extent that the United States of America was founded as a nation where the law was more powerful than any individual leader, the sinister indictment of Comey is the ultimate symbol—so far, that is—of Trump’s contempt for the United States of America.
Yes—contempt for the United States of America. This may confuse some Americans, who see Trump constantly wrapping himself in the flag, on some obscene occasions even hugging and kissing it—a Judas kiss from a man who has no understanding of what love of country actually means—and think of him as patriotic. But this is exactly what authoritarian thugs throughout history do. They bathe themselves in flag imagery as they torch the best values that flag represents.

Comey Shows That Donald Trump’s Contempt for America Knows No Bounds | The New Republic
By Michael Tomasky, September 26, 2025
Comey Shows That Donald Trump’s Contempt for America Knows No Bounds
The indictment of the former FBI director is an un-American act. Period.
Former FBI Director James Comey. Brendan Smialowski / Getty ImagesJames Comey has done some things in his career that I didn’t care for and which I suspect you didn’t like either, for what I’m guessing are similar reasons. But those things are irrelevant today. As of Thursday evening, Comey is one more symbol of Donald Trump’s utter contempt for law and decency. To the extent that the United States of America was founded as a nation where the law was more powerful than any individual leader, the sinister indictment of Comey is the ultimate symbol—so far, that is—of Trump’s contempt for the United States of America.
Yes—contempt for the United States of America. This may confuse some Americans, who see Trump constantly wrapping himself in the flag, on some obscene occasions even hugging and kissing it—a Judas kiss from a man who has no understanding of what love of country actually means—and think of him as patriotic. But this is exactly what authoritarian thugs throughout history do. They bathe themselves in flag imagery as they torch the best values that flag represents.

Trump Has Turned the National Guard Into Mall Cops. Cost? $1 Million a Day.
When I went out to fetch lunch last Wednesday, three Louisiana Guard members were lounging outside the Mother Jones building, enjoying the perfect weather and watching dialysis patients spilling out of Metro access vans. The soldiers wore handcuffs on their belts and handguns strapped to their thighs, unaware that they were protecting some enemies of […] -

Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History?
Trump's EO tries to hide inconvenient truths about US history at parks, the National Zoo, the Smithsonian, and other entities.
Recently, signs were placed in national parks asking visitors to report " improper, divisive, or anti-American" ideology.
Results were mixed.

A note on #WashingtonDC from #NoKings
"On #June14— #FlagDay — #DonaldTrump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.
"Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.
"For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in #Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and #UnAmerican birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event at the link below.
"For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in #Virginia or #Maryland, or join our partners at #FreeDC for #DCJoyDay, a community-led event in the District."
